IPL 2026: Although the dominance of many young players is being seen in IPL 2026, the most different and explosive style has been that of 15 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi. This season Vaibhav has taken on big bowlers. Due to his explosive batting, Vaibhav also remains in the Orange Cap list.

Yesterday also, he had played a brilliant inning of 46 runs in just 21 balls against Delhi Capitals. But now during the IPL, such a figure has come to light regarding Vaibhav which is going to give some tension to Rajasthan Royals and Vaibhav himself. Which has been disclosed by former Indian legend Mohammad Kaif.

What did Mohammad Kaif say?

Former star fielder of the Indian team Mohammad Kaif, who was known for his excellent fielding during his time, has raised questions on the fielding of Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Kaif believes that not only batting, but fielding has also become a major factor in deciding victory and defeat in modern cricket. Shared a post on social media platform X after the match between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals.

Mohammad Kaif made a big revelation by taking the name of Vaibhav Suryavanshi in his post. He wrote, “It is sad to see the fielding in this IPL. Today Yash Raj dropped the catch of KL Rahul when he was on zero. Vaibhav Suryavanshi also made a mistake in fielding. This young player has not taken a single catch this season. He needs to be more agile in fielding while playing for India. It is the duty of the coaches to teach fielding skills to the young players. Boys should enjoy fielding and be proud of it.”

How was your performance in batting?

Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s performance in batting has been amazing. So far in the 12 matches played this season, he has scored 486 runs at a strike rate of 234.78. Which included 43 fours and 43 sixes. At present Vaibhav remains at sixth position in the list of Orange Cap.

RR lost by how many wickets?

Batting first in the match played on 17 May, Rajasthan Royals scored 193 runs in 20 overs. For Rajasthan, Dhruv Jurel played an inning of 53 runs and captain Riyan Parag played an inning of 51 runs, but due to poor bowling, Rajasthan had to face defeat by 5 wickets at the hands of Delhi Capitals. Delhi achieved this target by losing 5 wickets in 19.2 overs.
